After returning from Jinxiufang, Xiao Xiwei went directly to the old lady's quiet garden.

The old lady was having lunch, and when she saw her come in, a rare smile appeared on her face, "I'm back, can I have lunch?" ”

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, with a bit of girlish naughtiness on her face, "It's not yet, I thought that my grandmother had something delicious here, so I deliberately pinched the time to rush back." ”

"You kid!" The old lady couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly instructed Mama Liu next to her, "Did you hear it, don't add two bowls and chopsticks to this girl." ”

"Yes." Mama Liu responded with a smile.

After the grandfather and grandson had a meal, Xiao Xiwei helped the old lady to sit in front of the Luohan bed, and waited for the old lady to rinse his mouth, and then explained to the old lady the number of types of brocade ordered in the splendid workshop today and the amount of silver spent.

The old lady nodded again and again while listening, and a little smile appeared on her face.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Xi quietly raised his eyes and looked at the old lady, looking at the mold technique of wanting to speak and stopping.

The old lady raised her eyelids and twisted her eyebrows slightly, "If you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

"Grandmother, I bumped into my aunt in Jinxiufang today." Xiao Xiwei looked at the old lady cautiously.

The old lady raised the corners of her eyebrows, "What, she also went to buy brocade?" ”

"Aunt she...... She said she wanted to buy fifty horses of Yunzhong brocade. ”

As soon as Xiao Xiwei finished speaking, the old lady's eyebrows twisted, and she looked at Xiao Xiwei in disbelief and said, "What, fifty horses?" Brocade in the clouds? ”

Qi is the cousin and daughter-in-law of the old lady, how much family background she has, the old lady knows a little bit, but she wants fifty horses of cloud brocade and so much silver in one mouth today, where did she get such a big confidence? Where did all this money come from?

Xiao Xi nodded slightly, "My aunt said that I bought it for several other ladies, but it was just ......."

"Just what?"

"It's just that my aunt insisted that I sell it to her for ten taels of silver a horse, and said that I bought it at this price last year." Xiao Xiwei said and his brows gradually twisted, "Grandmother, the guy in the shop said that in previous years, my aunt had never come to Jinxiufang to buy brocade, let alone sell anyone at this price. You also know that Yunzhongjin was transported from Yangcheng for thousands of miles, not to mention how valuable it is, but ten taels of silver is really enough to buy a corner, so ......" Xiao Xi lowered his head slightly and stopped talking.

The old lady's face sank, "She really dares to speak!" ”

"Grandmother, will my aunt blame me for this?"

"Blame? What is there for her to blame? When someone else's money is blown by a strong wind, it can't be done! The old lady wrinkled her brows and said angrily.

Xiao Xiwei's face was embarrassed, "Aunt she...... She seems to have received the ladies first......"

"What!"

"Grandmother, in the end, I asked the men to sell each horse to my aunt for only forty taels, but my aunt still seemed very angry...... Grandmother, am I doing something wrong? Do you want to go and accompany your aunt? ”

"Accompany what is not! You are a dignified Miss Houfu, what is her identity that dares to let the Miss Houfu accompany her! Besides, you didn't do anything wrong! The old lady wrinkled her brows and said with anger in her arms.

"Yes, my granddaughter knows." Xiao Xi hung his head slightly.

The old lady only felt irritated in her heart, the two sisters-in-law of the Li family and the Qi family really didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp, and they were competing with each other to block her!

"If there's nothing else to do, you can go back first." The old lady waved her hand at Xiao Xi with a displeased face.

Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly and blessed his body, "Yes." ”

She knew that her words had planted a seed in Lao Taijun's heart, and she believed that soon Lao Taijun would find out about the Li family, and then the Li family's embezzlement of the public and the bank would soon be exposed.

"Old lady, let's have some tea." Mama Liu smiled and poured a cup of tea and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady frowned and glanced at Mama Liu, but finally took the tea and took a sip. The warm aroma of tea in her mouth made the stuffiness in her chest dissipate a lot, and she sighed, "These people are really more worry-free than the other." ”

"Don't be angry, old lady, you also know Mrs. Li's temperament, she is the most cautious and cautious, maybe there is any misunderstanding in the middle." Mama Liu said with a smile.

The old lady twisted her eyebrows.

Mama Liu is right, although the Qi family loves to be cheap, but shrewd and cautious, if she is not completely sure that she can buy Yunzhong brocade at the price of ten taels, she will never accept the silver of those ladies first and not leave a little way back for herself! Isn't it......

Lee's.

Two words popped out of the old lady's mind.

Although the splendid workshop is hung in the name of Xiwei, she is young and careless, and the brocade purchased by the Houfu every year is handled by the Li family, speaking of which, compared with Xiwei, the Li family has more contact with the splendid workshop.

"Go, bring me the account book of the brocade that Fuzhong buys in the Splendid Workshop every year." The old lady said with a calm face.

"Yes." Mama Liu responded.

In the past few days, because I had to buy summer clothes, the account books of previous years had already been found and put aside, so after a while, Mama Liu came up with the account books.

"Old lady, this is the account book of previous years."

The old lady took it and flipped the page casually.

"I've also seen this account, and every one of them is very clear, and there should be no problem with the slave and maid." Mama Liu whispered.

The old lady snorted coldly, threw the account book on the table casually, glanced at Mama Liu and said, "This is all superficial kung fu, you let people inquire about which ladies the Qi family bought Yunzhongjin for." “

"Yes." Mama Liu lowered her eyes and respectfully agreed.

It was already noon when Xiao Xiwei came out of Jingyuan, and the sun was poisoning outside, so she picked up the shaded corridor and walked towards Shuying Xuan.

I hadn't gone far when I heard a cat meow.

Her face turned pale, and a fragment flashed in her mind, and she quickly took two or two steps back, whether it was too late, and the gray shadow rushed towards her.

Ahh

There was a sudden hot pain on his forehead, Xiao Xi gasped slightly, reached out to hold his forehead, and the whole person fell backwards by the shadow.

"Miss!" Biyun screamed, and hurriedly reached out to hug Xiao Xiwei.

Bright red blood gushed out from between his fingers, dripping on Xiao Xi's slightly snow-white face.

Biyun and Ziyan turned pale with fright, Biyun turned pale with fright, stared at the blood that kept gushing out, and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, you, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Xi was so pained that she was empty, and the thick blood stains in her hands made her heart sink suddenly!

She miscalculated the Li family! Unexpectedly, in this life, the Li family actually took action early to destroy her appearance!

"Sister Biyun, you, you help Miss go back quickly, I, I'll go and ask for a doctor now......" Ziyan said with fear.

Biyun came back to his senses at this time, "Okay, okay, you go quickly." ”

Ziyan answered, and hurriedly turned around and ran away.

"Miss, it's all my fault...... Miss, what can I do about this......" As soon as Ziyan left, Biyun cried 'wow'.

Xiao Xi's face was slightly cold, and her eyes looked particularly bewitching and ruthless against her in the bright red blood.

She knew that the cat would never pounce on her and scratch her face for no reason! Li must have done something!

Shuyingxuan.

The old lady was the first to rush to Shuyingxuan, and as soon as she entered the inner room, she saw that the white handkerchief on Xiao Xiwei's forehead was dyed bright red with blood, she gasped, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly, "Wei'er, this...... What the hell is going on! ”

"Grandmother...... Hurt...... I hurt ......" Seeing the old lady, Xiao Xiwei's tears poured out.

The old lady looked at Xiao Xiwei's eyes like an injured deer, and felt sad in her heart, she hurriedly walked to the bed and sat down and stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Xiwei's hand, "Good boy, don't be afraid, grandmother is here, and the doctor will come over in a while." ”

Xiao Xi gritted his teeth slightly, stared at the old lady with clear eyes and nodded vigorously.

The old lady looked sad for a while, turned her head and scolded the girl, "How do you take care of Miss!" It's only been so long, how did such a big thing happen! ”

All the girls in the room knelt down at once.

"The old lady forgives the sin, slave, slave and maid, and the slave doesn't know how a wild cat suddenly rushed out and scratched the young lady!" Biyun knelt on the ground and cried.

It was so sudden, she didn't expect it to happen!

"Where are the wild cats in Houfu! Where did the beast go? The old lady said angrily.

Biyun cried and shook her head.

"Go! Immediately order someone to find the evil beast for me! I'd like to see who raised this beast! ”

As soon as the old lady spoke, several mothers-in-law immediately went to the house to find the cat.

"Why hasn't the doctor come yet! Layue, go to the door and take a look, when is this! Looking at the little man on the bed who endured the pain and the pale little face, the old lady's heart was also like being scratched by a wild cat.

Seeing that Wei'er is about to die, if there is any scar at this time, then Wei'er's life will be completely ruined! If this is the case, if she closes her eyes, how can she still have the face to see her mother!

"Wei'er, don't cry, grandmother will definitely ask the doctor to heal your injuries. Don't be afraid, grandmother is here! The old lady stretched out her hand and stroked Xiao Xi's slightly snow-white face, although her heart was full of distress and worry, but she didn't dare to let her see anything on her face.

"Grandmother, it's okay, I'm not in pain." Xiao Xi gently held the old lady's hand, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a smile.

"Silly girl, how can it not hurt when there is so much blood!" Listening to Xiao Xiwei's words, the old lady not only did not feel relieved, but tears poured out at once.

"Grandmother, don't cry......" Xiao Xi hurriedly reached out to wipe the tears of the old lady.

It is true that she cried and cried out for pain, pretending to be well-behaved in front of the old lady, and had the intention of flattering her, but when the old lady was really distressed for her, worried about her, and shed tears for her, her cold and hard heart seemed to have been pried open a corner, and a wave of warmth and guilt gushed out inexplicably.

Although this world is cold, there are always a few people who really care about you.

"Miss, the eldest lady is here, the doctor is here......" The anxious voice of purple smoke outside the door sounded along with the sound of hurried footsteps.
